Homework Statement
A typical sonic boom is a solitary N wave with a peak to peak pressure amplitude of 2 lbf/ft^2 and a wavelength of 50 ft. Find the maximum particle displacement.
Homework Equations
None
The Attempt at a Solution
I've found some equations on the internet. For instance, I have the speed of the wave (u) (that I should then differentiate to get the particle displacement I think...):
u = p * C0 * rho0
or
u = c0 * S
I can't manage anyhting with these equations and I can't find anything representing the sound wave of the problem on a graph. I can't visualize the problem at all.
Could anyone give me some tips or explanations on this problem?
Thank you
